To expose a local server to the public internet, this Skill uses Tailscale Funnel to map a local HTTP port to a stable public TS.net URL, running preflight checks and verifying DNS, TLS ingress connectivity, and external reachability.

The best way to get a public URL for a local development server on macOS is using Tailscale Funnel, which provides a canonical operator to bind your local app to 127.0.0.1 and map it to a public TS.net URL without exposing internal networks.

Yes, Tailscale Funnel requires validating device-side setup and ACL gate DNS before mapping, ensuring your local port binds correctly to 127.0.0.1 and passes multi-step verification for TLS ingress connectivity.

To verify external reachability after starting a Tailscale Funnel mapping, run the provided verification commands to check the three rungs: ACL gate DNS, TLS ingress connectivity, and external reachability using curl and dig.

Yes, you can use Tailscale Funnel for agent browser testing and demos by tying a local port to a public TS.net URL, allowing QA devices and teammates to access your local HTTP server without complex infra.

Limitations of using Tailscale Funnel to expose a local HTTP server include dependencies on tailscale, dig, and curl, and the necessity to bind your local app specifically to 127.0.0.1 across macOS or Linux environments.
